Miles Murphy is a pranking legend. He is the best prankster in his school, so when he moves to boring Yawnee Valley he keeps scowling and sighing because he thinks it is going to be so dull. The town is only known for its boring cows. Even the mayor is a cow!
But when Miles goes to his new school, the first person he meets, Niles, also turns out to be a brilliant pranker. Niles suggests that he and Miles become a pranking team but Miles doesn't like Niles and turns it into a pranking war.
Miles pulls off a brilliant prank, inviting people to the party of someone who doesn't even exist and taking all the presents for himself, but Niles pays another boy to pretend to be the made up birthday boy! Afterwards Miles realises that Niles actually saved his prank because they still got all the presents and after that they became a brilliant pranking team.
For April Fools Day they take lots of cows to their school. When the principal finds out he cancels school and everyone gets a day off to play tricks on each other.
This book is really funny and exciting. In my top 10 of all my favourite books ever this would come about fifth, it is so good! I would recommend it to any people who like reading about pranks, mischief and naughty boys at school.
